Sometimes they'll want to cut you down 

Betta scratch that itch cos the time is now 

They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel 

If you want to keep up can you afford to feel? 



When the system's wrong you gotta tear it down let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown 

To the stars in the moonbeams glare Shackles on your feet gonna disappear 



Chorus 

What if I tried to tell you to do what for? 

Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door 

Oooh I just don't know for sure. 

What if I tried to tell you to do what for? 



Don't give up don't give up 

Don't give up don't give up 

Don't give up don't give up 

Don't give up don't give up 



She's got a talented face and a suitcase 

Ain't got no desire to go no place 

In her case she's got no desire with her hand in the flame say's she don't feel the fire 

To the 'yes' in the evenings air demons in your head got to disappear 

To the stars under the moon means glare 

The Shackles on your meat will disappear 



Chorus 

What if I tried to tell you to do what for? 

Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door 

She said, "Oooh I just don't know for sure" 

What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
